Zhang Cheng looked at Wu Si and didn't speak.

Wu Si didn't look at him right.

He knew that what he had calculated was finished.

Glory and wealth also flew.

Zhang Cheng didn't say a word, but Wu Si explained what he knew from the beginning.

Zhang Cheng wanted to die by himself, so he let him die.

Zhang Cheng publicized the news that he had calculated that the world was about to be amnesty, and those hexagrams were okay on weekdays, but once it came to matters at the court level, few of the people would believe it.

So Zhang Cheng thought of an idea when he heard Liu's complaint that his son couldn't marry his daughter-in-law.

The people didn't believe it because the court was too far away for them, what if there was a living example around them?

Will you still not believe it?

Zhang Cheng knew Wu Si because Wu Si went to him to calculate hexagrams.

In a coincidence, Zhang Cheng learned about the transaction between Zhang Sanzhu and Wu Si, and now it came in handy.

So, he inadvertently reminded Liu, and Liu fell defenselessly into the trap he weaved.

Zhang Cheng asked Wu Si to deliberately sell Zhang Sanzhu a bald girl, and with his understanding of the Liu family and Tie Niu, this matter would definitely be disputed.

As for killing, it doesn't necessarily come to this.

So there has to be someone in this case to facilitate this murder.

This person is the most neglected victim, Zhang Sanzhu's son, Zhang Ergou.

Zhang Ergou is not Zhang Sanzhu's biological son, he is a child that Zhang Sanzhu bought from Wu Si, Zhang Sanzhu does not do much to Ergou on weekdays, and Ergou has long hated him, so when Zhang Cheng found him, he agreed without the slightest hesitation.

When Zhang Sanzhu was frowning that evening, Zhang Ergou gave Zhang Sanzhu the idea of letting Yao Erya go to the Iron Cow House at night.

Zhang Sanzhu thought that this idea was really good, so he did it according to Zhang Ergou's idea.

Zhang Sanzhu has a reckless personality, is impulsive, has a poisonous mouth, and can't be provoked, it just so happens that Tie Niu also has a similar temperament, plus he has a little problem with his brain, and he can't stand being bullied by others.

Li Ying thought of the child who was in front of him, kneeling and crying breathlessly, took a deep breath and closed his eyes, then opened his eyes, only cold silence was left in his eyes, and indifferently ordered, "Bring Zhang Ergou here." ”

However, the officials were doomed.

As soon as Zhang Sanzhu's death was closed, Zhang Ergou asked someone to sell the yard, and the excuse to the outside world was to go to distant relatives.

For more than a month, Zhang Ergou has disappeared.

Li Yingrang issued a wanted notice for the document, and then ordered it to be posted on the bulletin boards of each county.

The nature of Zhang Cheng's case is quite special, Zhang Cheng relied on his own ability, and did not pay attention to the court, the government, and the law at all, and this atmosphere should not be promoted.

Li Ying decided to sentence him to be beheaded after ten days, and the punishment of Liu's mother and son remained unchanged, and the date remained unchanged.

Wu Si's role ran out, Xue Jue said a word to Li Ying, and took him away.

As for how he interrogated and what the specific content of the interrogation was, it was another matter.

Li Ying and others thought that this matter was completely over, who could have known that the lead of the firecracker had been quietly ignited, and its spark was gradually approaching the firecracker, only after the lead was completely burned, the moment when the spark drilled into the firecracker, it was also the time when the firecracker exploded.

The matter of Zhang Cheng's beheading spread all over the rivers and lakes, and no one sighed, and at the same time avoided the affairs of the imperial court.

The ninth day of September is the Chung Yeung Festival.

People in this era take nine as the yang number, and the moon and day should be yang, so it is called Chongyang, and it is also weighed nine.

Chongjiu to worship the mountain, the practice is roughly the same as the tomb sweeping during the Qingming Dynasty, the tomb sweeper is to first remove the weeds in the tomb of the ancestors, and clean the cemetery.

Then paste the river money, put on the three livestock fruits, tea, wine, rice and chopsticks offerings, burn ingots, candles, gold and silver, clothes and paper when worshipping, and worship the ancestors in order of the elders and young according to the tomb sweeper, and finally set off the cannonballs.

This is done in every cemetery.

For this day, some people who have been making a living outside will rush back to visit the graves in their busy schedules to express their sorrow for the long end.

Of course, this is the Chongyang Festival of ordinary people.

As for the literati, they carried out elegant activities such as planting dogwoods, appreciating chrysanthemums in the east fence, and dropping hats on Longshan.

Limited to literati and scholars.

Look at chrysanthemums during the Double Ninth Festival, and raise a glass to talk about mulberry hemp together.

This wine is naturally chrysanthemum wine.

"Chrysanthemum wine" is the wine brewed with chrysanthemums, according to the "Xijing Miscellaneous Records" contains, "chrysanthemum Shushi, and pick stems and leaves, miscellaneous millet for brewing, to the next year September 9 to start ripening, on the drink, so called chrysanthemum wine." ”

In this era, the first year of Chung Yeung Festival was specially used for the second Chung Yeung Festival.

On the ninth day of the ninth month of September, the first blooming chrysanthemums and a little verdant branches and leaves are picked, mixed with the grain ready to make wine, and they are drunk in Chongyang in the second year.

They believe that this wine can "dispel all diseases and make people live longer".

On this day, the students of Fengchi Academy also invited their friends and classmates to go to Liuhe Mountain outside the city, where they held a poetry meeting.

Li Ying, at the invitation of the dean of Fengchi Academy, also went with him.

After the dean of Fengchi Academy and Li Ying finished their closing speeches, everyone began to drink and write poems.

Chongyang ascending is inseparable from chrysanthemum wine, and of course poetry is also.

Fu Yuanzhi and Ah Di respectively made a chrysanthemum poem in the game.

Fu Yuanzhi:

The garden is full of chrysanthemums and golden flowers, and there are lonely bushes like frost.

It's like today's song banquet, pulsatilla enters the juvenile field!

Song Yi:

The chrysanthemum path in the east of the fence is deep, and it is folded from the lonely groan.

In the rain, the clothes are half wet, and the nose is self-conscious.

The process of the poetry meeting was warm and elegant.

September 27

There was a news in the capital that caused a sensation in the entire court.

A man who claimed to be a disciple of Zhang Cheng wrote a letter to Li Ying, accusing Li Ying of befriending the literati and students of Fengchi Academy for slandering the imperial court, insulting the emperor for being mediocre, arrogant and lascivious, and corrupting customs.

Emperor Tianyou was furious when he heard this, and issued an edict to arrest Li Ying, and ordered all literati who had dealings with Li Ying to be taken into prison.

After the wanted warrant was issued, Du Wu, who was Li Ying's friend, wanted to inform Li Ying of the news in advance.

But what he didn't know was that the messenger who was sent out of the city was killed by an arrow before he could leave the borders of the capital.

Li Ying is a faction of King Jing, and King Jing is still in Liaodong at this time, and he has no boss to keep him, so he can only become a fish on the chopping board and be slaughtered.

The second day of October

Song Huan loaded all the food and daily necessities onto the mule cart, and tomorrow they were about to leave Jiangning Mansion.

Today, food and salt prices have stabilized.

Don't get me wrong, it's trending towards high prices and stability.

The price of rice is 50 wen a catty, and as for the price of salt, because the salt merchants in Danyang County got the salt lead, the price is currently maintained at 70 wen a catty.

As for the price of grain, there is no way, because of the war in Liaodong and the transfer of grain from the south to the north, the war does not stop, and the grain has to be continuously transported to ensure the grain and grass of the soldiers.

As a result, its price will only keep rising.

Even if the fighting stops, the people will have to wait for the next year's harvest to recover, and if they have difficulties, it may take two or three years to recover.

Because of the impact of salt and grain prices, the prices of sauce, vinegar and other products extended by them have also risen a lot.

The sauce has been increased from five wen per bowl to eighteen wen per bowl.

According to Song Huan's judgment of the form, except for Danyang County, where there is a salt farm, the price of salt is only afraid that it will be more expensive.

Outside, the price of salt also includes the cost of time spent in the middle and the cost of transportation.

If there are those who want to make a fortune, let alone make money.

The salt is tolerant, and Song Huan feels that in addition to the rice, she also needs to stock up on the salt.

However, the mule brother can bear so much weight, and no matter how much he hoards, it must be within the range of the mule brother.
